Anyone vacuuming their Chows?
Just curious; I vacuum Emma with my little Mighty Mite vaccuum. Horsepeople do this quite often as it removes loose hair and dirt that gets trapped near the skin. Plus, it makes cleanup really easy.
Anyone else vacuum the dog? Emma's not afraid of noise, so I turn it into a game. I turn it on, give her the upholstery nozzle to nibble on and away we go! She doesn't mind it in the very least and I can do it for as long as I want. I finish up with a brush to even out the coat.
Am I lucky or what?!

Tess and Fiona don't want the vacuum coming that close, but I vacuum my collie all the time. The vacuum is her absolute favorite thing and thinks it's playing with her when I vacuum her. Fortunately, she hates being brushed so this helps me get some of the loose stuff off of her.

Milly and Mabel just totally ignore the vacuum cleaner. They won't move for me - if they are lying down when I want to vacuum the carpet - tough - I have to say "Excuse me girls!" several times before they get up and bumble off out of my way.
But as for vacuuming them - I don't know - I have not tried to and I don't know how they would take it.
Same with the lawn mower - Fred has to come in to get me to ask them to move because they just will not for him.

Rowlee used to loooove the vacuum cleaner. Whenever I started it it would come in and as I cleaned up mess, he would just make more
I need a new vacuum cleaner I want one of those super-powered Dyson ones that's meant to be great for pet hair.
Thanks so much Sweetpea, you're a star!
LEO doesn't mind the vacuum either. We do have to beg her to move out of the way sometimes. We have vacuumed her several times, not much comes out of her(maybe because I don't groom her enough?). She just lays there looking not too happy, but not totally unhappy to move.....
Rowlee, we use the Dyson Animal, but we use it w/ in the telescope position not upright. I bought the vacuum before we decided on which house to rent, and this has only got hardwood floors. The only rug we have sometimes get the upright treatment. If you have carpets, go for the upright, if not the canister type should be sufficient. But let me tell you, despite the weight and the long cords, I love my Dyson.
